你好
We are pleased to announce The Beat Is The Law’s first screening in Asia at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival on the 9th and the 14th November 2011
賈維斯卡克說：「即使手錶停了，它一天至少還會正確兩次。」而這個世界終於在一九九五年追上他的腳步，因為The Stone Roses 吉他手John Squire 騎單車摔斷鎖骨、搖滾公雞洛史都華又婉拒邀約，成軍將近二十年才以〈Common People〉初嚐成名滋味的Pulp，意外站上英國Glastonbury 音樂節主舞台，由現場八萬人共同見證了Pulp 與雪菲爾同儕們用十餘年寫下的音樂傳奇。
Below is a scan of Taiwan’s biggest broadsheet daily, The China Times 31.10.2011. On the back page of the newspaper is this piece on The Beat Is The Law and Pulp. Spot the English music references amongst the Mandarin text!
